Procedure for Subjecting a Proposed Rule to Legislative Review
If an objection is not resolved prior to the adoption of the rule, a person may also submit written objections to the Rules Review Commission. If the Rules Review Commission receives written and signed objections in accordance with § 150B-21.3(b2) from 10 or more persons clearly requesting review by the legislature and the Rules Review Commission approves the rule, the rule will become effective as provided in § 150B-21.3(b1) . The Commission will receive written objections until 5:00 p.m. on the day following the day the Commission approves the rule. The Commission will receive those objections by mail, delivery service, or hand delivery. If you have any further questions concerning the submission of objections to the Commission, call a Commission staff attorney at (919) 431-3000.

In accordance with § 150B-21.2(d) , the Board maintains a listing of interested parties requesting notice of rulemaking. When the Board files a notice of text with the Office of Administrative Hearings, interested parties on the listing receive notification regarding proposed new or amended rules.
